Heaven and Earth Share the Same Lifespan

Qian Gu Fenfeng stared blankly at the Abyss Plane Core before him, his hand reaching forward unconsciously. The instant his fingertips touched it, the unfathomable abyss source blossomed with ancient radiance, spreading from his fingertips throughout his body.

"Hahaha, hahahahahaha!"

Qian Gu Fenfeng's figure was bathed in radiance. From within his dim silhouette, a figure identical to him slowly emerged.

But that figure was darker than darkness, filthier than filth.

The gray figure slowly straightened his hunched body.

Qian Gu Fenfeng eyed him sidelong. "From now on, you are the new Abyssal Sage King."

"Very well..." A hoarse voice resounded throughout the plane.

"Now, there is something you must do..."

Heaven Dou Continent.

The void trembled, and two figures broke through the clouds high above.

Tang Hao wore simple cloth garments, the Clear Sky Hammer hovering beside him, the vast power of the Plane Master enveloping the surrounding lands; Ah Yin's long hair resembled silver threads, and boundless Blue Silver vines spread around her. As the Douluo Star's Core of Life, her divine soul was connected to the vitality of the entire land.

The husband and wife gazed from afar at Tang Wulin below, their eyes gentle yet filled with the resolve to meet death.

"Wulin cannot die." Tang Hao's voice was steady, with a trace of hoarseness. "Qian Gu Fenfeng has already ascended to God King. He will come to slaughter us first!"

"By refining and separating the Douluo Plane, we can both reinforce the barrier around the Heaven Dou Continent and deal the Douluo Plane a devastating blow!"

Tang Hao's expression hardened. "If a plane does not belong to the Tang family, it can forget about existing!"

"Heaven and Earth Share the Same Lifespan!!"

Ah Yin nodded gently, the radiance of the Blue Silver Emperor flowing as countless vines spread across the entire Heaven Dou Continent and took root, piercing the strata and reaching deep into the plane's source. "This requires us to burn all our life and plane authority, sacrificing ourselves to sever the source connection between the planes and forge a plane barrier that will never collapse."

"Once we act, our divine souls will be utterly destroyed, with no reincarnation ever again."

Tang Hao raised his hand and clasped Ah Yin's, and the two divine radiances merged.

"Hahaha, we'll pave the way for our grandson!"

The Clear Sky Hammer erupted with dense, dark-golden divine light of the plane, while emerald-green radiance of life blossomed from Ah Yin. The two powers intertwined, seeping along the earth's veins into the plane's deepest layer.

"Rise!"

With a deep shout, Tang Hao drove the Plane Master's authority to its fullest. The entire Douluo Plane shook violently, the earth roared, and seas of clouds churned.

Invisible threads of law entwined the Heaven Dou Continent. These were the plane's roots, which had evolved over ten thousand years to bind Heaven Dou and Douluo firmly together.

Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer, striking the junction of the plane's source again and again. Every blow sent enormous ripples through the void, snapping countless threads of law inch by inch. His body grew increasingly transparent as his life source burned continuously.

At the same time, Ah Yin activated the Core of Life. Endless Blue Silver vines transformed into bands of green light, wrapping around the entire Heaven Dou Continent and stabilizing the land that was about to shatter during the separation.

Emerald-green life force poured ceaselessly from her body, nourishing the continent as it was peeled away and counteracting the destructive impact of the plane being torn apart. Her features faded little by little, and her once-vibrant aura of life rapidly dissipated.

The husband and wife exchanged a glance and simultaneously detonated their entire sources.

Boom-!!

Dark-golden and emerald-green divine light surged into the sky, sweeping across heaven and earth. Every root of the plane snapped, and the Heaven Dou Continent slowly detached from the main body of the Douluo Continent, drifting slowly through the void like a piece of land separated from its mother.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao's and Ah Yin's utterly consumed divine souls and life sources transformed into a vast plane barrier flowing with gold and green, firmly enclosing the entire Heaven Dou Continent.

The barrier flowed without pause, containing the final power of the Plane Master and the Core of Life.

Tang Hao's and Ah Yin's figures dissolved little by little within the light. Their final two gentle gazes fell upon Tang Wulin before they vanished completely into the void.

The Heaven Dou Continent floated silently in the void, its gold-and-green barrier shining eternally. On the continent, Tang Wulin seemed to sense something and fell to his knees, tears rolling down his face. At the cost of their lives, his grandparents had held up a peaceful haven for him, isolated from the catastrophe.

While the Tang family enacted their tender choice between loved ones, the Douluo Plane's vitality rapidly declined.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, withered brown rapidly spread across the branches and leaves of the ancient trees that had once blotted out the sky and sun. Emerald leaves turned brittle and scorched, falling one by one, while the trunks lost their warm luster and split with densely packed, deep cracks.

The once-abundant Soul Power between heaven and earth slowly dissipated. The Lake of Life's water level fell rapidly, its surface shrinking, its waters losing their clarity and turning murky gray. The exposed lakebed dried and cracked, and the life source that had once welled up endlessly was gone.

The earth trembled faintly, and spiritual veins across the continent dried up one after another. Grasslands lost their verdant hue and became withered yellow wastelands, where the wind stirred only dry sand and soil; river levels plummeted, some tributaries stopped flowing, and exposed riverbeds were covered in dry, cracked mud.

The Soul Power in the air was no longer mild, becoming oppressive and thin. When Soul Masters circulated their Soul Power, they clearly felt that there was no longer any energy between heaven and earth for them to absorb, and their Martial Souls' connection to this world weakened by the day.

A layer of murky gray haze veiled the heavens, and even the sunlight filtering through lost its warmth. The Douluo Plane's source was constantly draining away, as though the entire world were slowly bleeding out.

Low, agonized rumbles came from the depths of the plane-the mournful cries of the entire plane as it neared decline. Fine, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the spatial barriers, and a faint aura of deathly stillness from beyond the realm seeped through the gaps.

The laws of heaven and earth slowly decayed, and the growth cycles of all things were interrupted. Plants no longer sprouted, and living creatures struggled to reproduce.

Throughout the entire Douluo Plane, vitality was like the flame of a spent candle, inching toward extinction.
